1 Samuel 12:18-20

12:18 So Samuel called to the Lord, and the Lord made it thunder and rain that day. All the people were very afraid of both the Lord and Samuel. 12:19 All the people said to Samuel, “Pray to the Lord your God on behalf of us – your servants – so we won’t die, for we have added to all our sins by asking for a king.” ¹ 

12:20 Then Samuel said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have indeed sinned. ²  However, don’t turn aside from the Lord. Serve the Lord with all your heart.

[12:19]  ¹ tn Heb “for we have added to all our sins an evil [thing] by asking for ourselves a king.”
